July 1, 2019 – Electromate introduced Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C mini actuator, featuring BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as the FHA-C mini single incremental encoder version. The dual absolute encoder offers single turn absolute position at the output, without the need for battery back-up. Panel mount connectors come standard, and customers can choose between 4 exit options.
The FHA-C mini Series is a family of actuators that deliver torque with and repeatability. The actuator combines a Harmonic Drive gear component with a pancake brushless servo motor. A single turn 14 bit (16384 cpr) gear output encoder has been integrated along with a single turn 14 bit (16384 cpr) motor input encoder providing a true absolute encoder that does not require a battery within 360° of rotation of the output.
